Last time out with the local Vespa Club. Felt the handling was a bit "squirmy". Sure was, all the air went to the top of the rear tyre.
Regathering stop outside a local golf course.

^^^ Love the proud two-tone ! Clap emoticon

I got that blue DOD Sprint to my house, looks like it's sold and soon headed to California. After getting the stinky ancient gas flushed out of it I finally got it started up and went for a nice test ride. It checks out well, has plenty of beans - 1 kick start and the lights, horn, clutch, gears & brakes all work as they should.

Turns out it is a '71 w/ a later Veloce motor in it and it's got autolube. Somebody is gonna enjoy this one a lot!

A 30 mile Sunday ride in the country west of Madison. Large market farm was having a fall festival.
Beautiful day and nice to see all the families out enjoying It.

And thank you for the kind words K! The present is a gift, and what an awesome gift it is. I'm eating Chocolate Creampie - my birthday favorite since I was a kid...

Had the Smallstate out and about despite having no headlight, no plates, and questionable brakes.

I'm not sure what the deal is with them, but somebody tagged up my hood with the heart and X pretty good a while back.
